I am a self taught artist who started my love for drawing since the young age of five. My grandfather, lolo Andres, who was then an exceptional carpenter and house painter, introduced me to the world of art. He showed me how to draw flowers, trees, and the human form through stick figures. Having worked a 9-5 job since I graduated from college, I decided in 2016 to quit my job and concentrate in
honing the craft of painting stones. This might be a crazy idea, but I mustered enough courage to finally do something that will make me happy and fulfilled at the same time. Why stones as my canvas? Living an hour away from Manila (on a moderate traffic condition hehehe), my family is blessed with fresh air, huge trees and abundant types of tropical plants around our home. Being in a city where nature still flourish, I am inclined to make art that is inspired by nature. And what better way to do that than using the best canvas available in our area, stones. My mom's garden is my first art supply shop where I gather stones of any kind to draw and paint on. Each stone art is handmade with love and care. No two stones are alike. Each piece is given a new life with paint and a dash of imagination. Hoping to inspire and trigger an emotion unique to the person who will appreciate and buy them.
***UPDATE AS OF 2021: Hello! Now Humble Pebble is a team of 2 artists (me-Marie & Dennis) and a project manager/financial analyst (Ditas). New family members means new art ventures too. We now paint on face masks, bags, and ceramics. WELCOME TO THE TEAM DENNIS AND DITAS! Cheers to new beginnings! ♥
